The funeral OF Mrs. Henry Klein, at Hell
ena, On Sunday afternoon, was one of the
largest ever seen in that city, and all that
sorrowing hearts and loving hands could
do to rob the grave of it's lonely sadness
and betoken the grief that pervaded the
community was done. The funeral serv-
ices were conducted at the lady's late resi-
dence. The local members of the Order of
the Eastern Star, to which Mrs. Klein be-
l0nged, attended, and Mrs. Fretz conducted
the beautiful funeral rites of that order.
Then followed the Hebrew funeral services,
conducted by Moses Morris, who delivered
q short but forcible and impressive sermon,
appropriate to the sorrowful occasion. The
cortege then moved to the cemetery, where
the remains of Mrs. Klein were laid in their
last resting place.
David j.. Waters, q pioneer in the Terri
tory. and q resident of Pony since 1876,
was found dead in his cabin on January 20.
His health had not been good for some
time and the fact that he had not been seen
for some days led Thomas Whalen, who
was at work in the neighberhood, to go to
his cabin to ascertain how he was getting
along. After considerable difficulty in max
ing his way over the drifted snow hereached
it, and his knock remaining unanswered,
he opened the door and saw the body npon
the bed still in death How long he thus
remained could not be definitely ascer-
tanned, but from the fact that he had not
opened the package he took up from the
store on Monday, the 18th, and that the
tools he had sharpened at the Clipper
blacksmith shop on Tuesday, the 18th,
had not been used afterward, it is inferred
that death must have taken place about
the latter date. Deceased was a native of
Pennsylvania.
Frank Jones, who was killed at Garrison
last week while "bucking'' q snow bank,
was one OF the ~nerviest men in the service.
It is q rule on railroads that for bucking
only men OF unquestioned nerve shall
be selected. A friend relates the following
illustrating the mans char
acterietic heroism. It was at Mullan tun-
mel. Upon leaving the tunne on the down
grade, east side, he discovered always on
watch) that the train had broken in two
just back of the baggage car, which. OF
course, caused q momentary anxiety on
his part, being in the night. Heimmediats-
~ took in the situation, opened up his en-.
CINE, and ran down the steep grade (which
should never be run down at rate of speed |
exceeding ten miles an hour) as fast as |
speed could take him, his object and iudg-
ment being to keep away from the real end
OF the train, taking chances of ditching his
engine to save the passengers innocently
on the train. At the foot of the
grade he did not stop his engine and jump
oil, as he could have done, and save his
life, but kept his eagle eye out and rated his
speed according to the circumstances, and
40 the balance of the train camedown 1.-TWO
and three coaches) caught them
and saved the train with a mere jar to the
passengers, who never knew the cause of it,
Ind only awoke and dropped to sleep again
never knowing of the danger they were in.
This is the man who was killed at Garrison.
